Cannondale’s retro F-Si Throwback is achingly beautiful
They're not cheap, but the old-school paint job special editions are gorgeous
While we previewed Cannondale’s F-Si Throwback framesets when they were announced, we’ve now seen them in person at Sea Otter Europe.
The F-Si is Cannondale’s raciest of hardtails and this particular one comes equipped with a smattering of very, very lightweight parts.
There’s Cannondale’s Lefty Ocho fork, its Hollowgram TR carbon wheels with tan sidewall Onza Canis tyres, a SRAM XX1 groupset with a gripshift shifter (for extra retro, and extra lightweight) and Level TLR brakes, plus a load of carbon Cannondale finishing kit thrown in for good measure.
